Sharing implementations or programming languages between Frontend and Backend has up until now been largely limited to using JavaScript on both sides, but a new option has recently arrived; WebAssembly.WebAssembly is a program format for the web that promises better performance than JavaScript, as well as having the potential for higher productivity due to enabling the use of your favorite programming language on both Frontend and Backend, which also reduces the need to reimplement things in JavaScript you already have on the backend.I’ll talk about options for sharing that is practical today, and what things you might want to share, and how WebAssembly support, soon present in all major browsers, opens up new possibilities.
